Title
All manual page files must not have extended ACLs. (Cat III impact)
Discussion
If manual pages are compromised, misleading information could be inserted, causing actions possibly compromising the system.
Check Content
Verify that all manual page files do not have extended ACLs. # find `env | grep MANPATH | cut -f 2,2 -d "=" | tr ':' ' ' ` -type f -exec ls -al '{}' | grep '^[a-zA-Z\-]\{10\}+' If the permissions include a "+" the file has an extended ACL, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Remove the optional ACL from the file(s). # chacl -z /usr/share/man/* /usr/share/info/* /usr/share/infopage/*
